[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2405746, member: 7999"] Hey Andrew, Your post made me laugh. I guess I'll take the comparison of our customers to Creed fans and Sherman fans. I'll leave it at that for obvious reasons. I have always called you an equal opportunity bullet destroyer. We have sent you bullets to destroy and never asked you to hold back in your findings. Yes you have been able to see some difference from lots of raw material over the years. We have seen these differences as well. We lean on the mill that produces our copper to make our copper in a specific way to the exact specs of previous lots of copper. Someday I want to see how it is made. I have a feeling what we are asking them to do is a very tall order. The fact that our supplier is willing to bend their process for us sets them aside from pretty much all the others. No other mill will even try to hold the tolerances that we require. You have seen the diff in your impact testing. Low velocity is where the rubber hits the road. The "worst" lot of copper in our current alloy that we have used, still works better than any other copper that we have tried. Striving for perfect makes for disappointment. Perfect is a tall order. It is an anxious day every time half a million dollars in copper is delivered. Everything we strive to do rides on that copper. I think the copper supplier thinks I am a high maintenance weirdo.
